So, just to be clear, fans bitched and moaned about the Trib being too cheap up until 2006 (despite much evidence to the contrary), and now we can't wait to get rid of them because they spend too much?

My problem has not been with the Trib this decade. The money has been there. We have the 3rd biggest payroll in BASEBALL!

There's nothing better than to realize that the good things about youth don't end with youth itself. It's a matter of realizing that life can be renewed every day you get out of bed without baggage. It's tough to get there, but it's better than the dark thoughts. -Lance
